He reminded the precedent of 2006, when the Parliament of the previous convocation made a logical, in his view, decision to shift from regular plenary sittings to sittings in the cases of necessity.

"It was a right decision, as many MPs as political figures participated in electoral campaign. Considering this precedent, we made the decision to shift to pre-electoral mode of work," he explained.

He added it doesn't mean MPs have vacations. The Parliament will continue its work in the mode reasoned by the present-day political situation in the country and legal regulations.
